I would think 460, not a 360, the 360, although a popular motor in several models of fords and mercury's I have never seen one in a boat, that does not preclude that someone may have made a switch somewhere along the way..

Can't help ya on the driveline but that is one beautiful piece of metal. Well, terribly ugly at the moment, but she could blossom with the right amount of sun and water

I'm a bass boat guy, but I can certainly see a nice rig in the future with that one. Think I'd go for it too.....

If you have the time..and the $$ .. and you dont care about return . .. then do it ( Id love to see the sub-strucure of the boat considering " Needs Restoration " .

What needs resto ?? could be big..could be small..

YD.

PS. I think its going to be more than the boats worth in the end.

your right........i'm gonna pass on it for now. the guy said he had it in the water last year..but it looks like maybe 10 years since it has seen any H2O and I don't like shady owners
